Journeys of the Mind

“Journeys of the Mind” is a fictional collection of four short stories with the basis of each being a different mental illness. The people in the book intentionally have not been named, because it is the author's hope that the reader will identify them with someone in their own lives. My hope is that “Journeys of the Mind” will instill empathy in the reader for those who are not classified as normal by society's norms. So take a journey into the minds of four different characters who suffer from depression and delusions, dissociative identity disorder (schizophrenia), Alzheimer's, and codependency.
